He came to Wayne Today when I worked there in '70, and was a fixture for awhile on WABC-TV Eyewitness News, which was the most interesting and irreverent network-affiliate evening news, ever. Lost track after that, though I just caught up <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Bouton" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Good line about the people. So true. I remember Jim Bouton well.

Jim Bouton lived just over the Maywood line on Central Ave in Rochelle Park. Dan Pasqua, also a Yankee, stood for a cold drink in my Poplar Ave kitchen, when he was cleaning carpets and upholstery before he made it to The Show. Our company accountant, Bob, made it to AA as a pitcher and did well until he threw "a pretty good pitch" to Rocky Colavito - they're still waiting for it to come down. Bobby Thomson, at a charity affair, was an instant old friend, good for a warm handshake and some great yarns. It's the people, not the legends, in the end. Doc,
